The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later, there were a couple of recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are nothing to do with the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of that time. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
